The Campaign For DA

9.29.2005

. . . nothing was better than watching wrestling on TV from the Sportatorium in Dallas. This month's Texas Monthly has an article entitled "The Last Von Erich" - retelling the story of the Lake Dallas family that has had more than it share of tragedy (four sons, three of whom have died).

Didn't read that article...I just had time to read about the house bootie bill! How in the world cheerleading got so much attention in the house just blows my mind. One would think that sane representatives would try to figure out a way to finance our public schools!

No, they spent time on the bootie bill. Seems cheerleading has made its way into the Texas culture wars. The football boys can't keep their minds on the game. The uniforms are too sexy, the routines are too sexy. Cheerleaders are getting pregnant and dropping out of school. The representatives in Austin want to get cheerleaders to quit shaking their little booties!

Well, the Senate didn't see fit to take up the Bootie Bill. But a letter was sent out to the schools to keep the Cheerleaders under control!

O.K. Do we feel safer now??? Knowing our state representatives are doing their jobs. That is why we voted them into office!
